Heavy truck accident: motorway closed towards Villach!

Villach, Österreich - A spectacular incident occurred on the Karawanken motorway this morning. At 04:40 a.m., a 26-year-old Croatian lost with his tractor, who was traveling towards Slovenia, presumably because of a second sleep over his vehicle. The truck crashed into the middle course, broke it through it and slipped onto the oncoming lane, where it fell into the adjacent embankment. The impact was so violent that the truck's tank was torn open, causing a considerable amount of diesel. The fire brigade was immediately alerted, which was able to successfully bind the fluid. The land chemist was also informed to monitor the situation.

While a trace has already been released in the direction of Slovenia, the highway towards Villach remains closed for the time being. The rescue of the truck is expected to take several hours and traffic is diverted via the nearby rest area. In addition to the officials of the Villach motorway police, the main fire station Villach with four vehicles and 13 comrades as well as the St. Jakob volunteer fire brigade in the Rosental and 10 comrades were also used. These coordinated the rescue measures and helped to bring the situation under control, such as Klick-kaernten.at reported.

At the same time, an important test for the fire brigade youth took place last weekend. A total of 19 young fire brigade members demonstrated their knowledge in a knowledge game. All participants passed the test with flying colors, which not only illustrates their knowledge, but also their great interest in fire work. This knowledge game serves to continuously secure and prove the training in the fire brigade youth. Thanks go to the youth representative BM Dagmar Hribernik and her team, who take care of the youth work in an exemplary manner, such as ffvk.at
